Katie Hofgard’s digital paintings are built on a love of nature, animals, and fantasy. From small, loosely painted icons to grand, finely detailed dreamscapes, Hofgard’s paintings express a character’s personality at any scale. Given a few hours, she can detail whole worlds. These commissioned portraits—fierce and playful—have earned the admiration of fellow artists who turn to her for help with the intricacies of painting digitally, a medium Hofgard defends in the face of those who might not appreciate its form.

Hofgard, who also goes by Eskiworks, trained at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, where she received a BFA in Illustration, and transitioned from painting on canvas to painting digitally. She grew up in Colorado, where she still lives and paints.
